Edited by Nicolaus SchafhausenContributions by Markus Miessen, Vanessa Joan Müller

Published in conjunction with Flaka Haliti’s solo presentation conceived for the Kosovo Pavilion atthe 56th Venice Biennale, this book continues the artist’s invitation to encounter a visual field inwhich territorial boundaries are referenced and mediated by the sensory. Through the use of asaturated blue colour altered by light and demarcated by architectural forms, the installation at theVenice Biennale reflects on the salient concept of the border.The United Nations building in Pristina was a point of departure for the exhibition, as VanessaJoan Müller backgrounds in her essay on the project, as well as relating to concerns of thethreshold and the horizon line: “Concatenated concrete pylons form a tall, compact barrier whichseparates the UN building at the city limits from that very city. The concrete of the barriers waspainted on the outside to downplay the appearance of a military safety zone. Different shades ofblue.” The conversation between Markus Miessen and Haliti in the book tracks topics frommigration to subjectivity, material states in relation to the digital and the status of internationalism.

Haliti’s approach is to recontextualize these politics into a spatial and visual abstraction. Theaccompanying book follows through on the exhibition’s experience of place and the notion of thehorizon as emblems of both possibilities and limitations; bounded by a deep blue, pages havebeen set as colour fields and the typography of the texts shift in scale. Speculating on the Blue offers multiple entry points for imagining present and future relations to histories and institutions.

+ Que 20 Ans ApresSternberg Press 2015 ISBN 9783956791420 Acqn 25130Pb 21x28cm 480pp 400ills 200col £32

Contributions by Anna Sigrídur Arnar, Christa Blümlinger, Georges Didi-Huberman, Sabine Folie,Rachel Haidu, Tom Holert, Gabriele Mackert, Michael Newman, Elisabeth von Samsonow

From 2008 to 2014 Sabine Folie was the director of the Generali Foundation—more than twenty-years after ( plus que 20 ans après) the collection and exhibition venue formed in 1988. She

helped establish the institution’s reputation for generating new critical discussion oncontemporary art through revisiting modernism. This survey publication, richly illustrated withphotographs and source materials, indexes and contextualizes the works acquired for thisdefinitive collection during Folie’s tenure, along with giving insight into how the correspondingexhibitions were curated. Reviewing the collection’s relation to recent art-historical discourse, theessays selected for the publication, written by theorists and artists, reflect on themes incontemporary art including linguistic devices, the dismantling of representation and thereorganization of pictorial space, the changing roles of the artist and the museum throughoutmodernity, the relationship between the subject and the environment under conditions ofglobalization and postcolonialism, and the artistic processing of history and the production ofmemorial culture. Commentary and works are featured by Lothar Baumgarten, MarcelBroodthaers, Ernst Caramelle, Harun Farocki, Morgan Fisher, Stéphane Mallarmé, Josef Strau,

 Ana Torfs, Joëlle Tuerlinckx, and Ian Wallace, among others. The artworks in the Generali

Foundation, some of which have never been exhibited before, are organized here as anexhibition in book form. Moreover, a key focus of both artistic production and the collection duringFolie’s directorship was on “the book” as work and medium. The book is not only a topicalmedium that historicizes Conceptual art, but also a means to place the interests of this collectionin focus—namely, revisions of modernity in the context of the contemporary proliferation of thereproduced image and modes of display.

Sophie Calle - Suite VenitienneSiglio 2015 ISBN 9781938221095 Acqn 24573Hb 14x20cm 96pp 60ills 56col £27

 After following strangers on the streets in Paris for months, photographing them and notating theirmovements, Sophie Calle ran into a man at an opening whom she had followed earlier that day."During the course of our conversation, he told me he was planning an imminent trip to Venice. Idecided to follow him," she writes at the beginning of Suite Vénitienne, her first artist's book andthe crucible of her inimitable fusion of investigatory methods, fictional constructs, the plunderingof real life and the composition of self. Over the course of almost two weeks in Venice, Callenotates, in time-stamped entries, her surveillance of Henri B., as well as her own emotions as sheseeks, finds and follows him through the labyrinthine streets of Venice. Her investigation is bothmethodical (calling every hotel, visiting the police station) and arbitrary (sometimes following astranger—a flower delivery boy, for instance—hoping someone might lead her to him). This Siglioreissue is a completely new iteration of Suite Vénitienne (first published in 1988 and long out ofprint), designed in collaboration with Calle to be the definitive English-language edition. Printedon Japanese paper with a die-cut cover and gilded edges, this beautiful new Siglio edition allows

readers to devour this crucial and compelling work.

In summer 2013 Triple Canopy invited writers, artists, scientists, activists, economists andtechnologists to bet on the future: which future do you want to see realized? How precisely canyou describe it? What demands might this future make on the present? The answers werepresented as Speculations ("The future is ______"), 50 days of lectures and discussions atMoMA PS1, Triple Canopy's contribution to the exhibition EXPO 1: New York . This book, alexicon of the central terms of Speculations, conveys the relationship between ideation and action

and suggests viable approaches to interpreting and changing the world. Triple Canopy considerseconomic interventions ("guaranteed basic income"), political abstractions ("autonomy,""prometheanism"), figments of the imagination ("planetary colonization"), modes of expression("science fiction") and useful neologisms ("hedge-fund utilitarians").

Conjunctions 64 - Natural CausesBard College Of Art 2015 ISBN 9780941964807 Acqn 24594Pb 15x23cm 350pp £11.95

 As we struggle to understand how our natural environment is swiftly changing—glacial polesbeginning to melt, forests and jungles denuded and compromised, fellow creatures increasinglyendangered—our fragile, intimate connection to nature is more than ever thrown into focus. Andyet nature pervades our lives in the most essential, complex ways, and will surely outlive anyhuman follies that might threaten it. Conjunctions: 64, Natural Causes radically reimagines thevenerable genre of nature writing, collecting fictional narratives in which landscape is central,

sometimes even a character, along with essays on our far-flung habitats, which are thriving aswell as suffering. It presents works of ecopoetry, poetic incursions into the seemingly infinitecommunities of nature's outposts, from coral reefs to tundras, lush alpine meadows to drought-stricken plains. Contributors to this issue include Russell Banks, Joyce Carol Oates, Noy Holland,Miranda Mellis and many others.

Supports / SurfacesCeysson Editions d'Art 2015 ISBN 9782916373713 Acqn 24621Hb 23x23cm 120pp 88ills 83col £23

Perhaps the most under-recognized French art movement of the twentieth century,Supports/Surfaces emerged amid the intellectual and political upheaval of 1960s France, on thecusp of modernity and postmodernity. Steeped in the philosophy of Derrida, Lacan and Barthes,and inspired in their political militancy by figures such as Marx, Freud and Mao, 15 artists fromthe South of France converged around a shared ideological and artistic goal: the dismantling anddemystifying of the painting as object, both physically and philosophically. Artists such as Louis

Cane, Daniel Dezeuze, Bernard Pagès, Patrick Saytour, Claude Viallat, André-Pierre Arnal andNoël Dolla explored the physicality of the painting's stretchers and canvases, deconstructing it soas to question and reaffirm the medium and its implications. This first-ever English publication onSupports/Surfaces includes a poster with a timeline of key works.

Xanti Schawinsky - Head Drawings And Faces Of WarThe Drawing Center 2015 ISBN 9780942324891 Acqn 24633Pb 15x23cm 126pp 72col ills £19.50

The oeuvre of Bauhaus artist Alexander "Xanti" Schawinsky (1904–79) encompasses a range ofsocial and political investigations. Schawinsky spent a lifetime relocating—from Switzerland toGermany to Italy to the United States—and in the process developed his central themes, whichinclude the responsibility of the individual and the repercussions of machine warfare. HisBauhaus training is manifested in his work's complex interpretation of the interrelationshipbetween art, craft and design, and his practice traversed avant-garde theater, experimental

photography, the Bauhaus jazz band, mechanical music and dance, and graphic design. Thispublication focuses on Schawinsky's work on paper from the 1940s, particularly the HeadDrawings and Faces of War . Schawinsky's 1940s series reveal the existential struggle of an artistinformed by Bauhaus idealism coping with the devastation of war.

Nicholas Wong - CrevasseKaya Press 2015 ISBN 9781885030207 Acqn 24645Pb 15x20cm 80pp 4ills £12.50

Crevasse, Hong Kong–based writer Nicholas Wong's newest collection of poetry, starts with anepigraph from Maurice Merleau-Ponty that notes the impossibility of observing one's own physicalbody and, therefore, the necessity of a "second," "unobservable" body from which to view one'sown. The poems in Crevasse seek to uncover the thread connecting these mutually observedand observing bodies. Like Samuel Beckett and others before him, Wong has deliberately chosento write in a non-native language—English, his second language after Cantonese. Freed from the

assumptions and conventions of his mother tongue, Wong strips down, interrogates andultimately reorients the fragmented complexities of the multiple communities he inhabits—queer, Asian, poet, reader, lover—in a collection of poems that exposes the gap between familiarity andthe inevitable distance of the body.

The Geologic ImaginationSonic Acts Press 2015 ISBN 9789082321609 Acqn 25144Pb 17x24cm 334pp 200ills 100col £17.50

Inspired by geosciences, Sonic Acts zooms in on planet Earth. Fundamental to 'The GeologicalImagination' is the thesis that we live in a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. Humanactivity has irreversibly changed the composition of the atmosphere, the oceans, and even the

Earth's crust. Humanity has become a geological force. Consequently, the perspective hasshifted from the human at the centre of the world to the forces that act on timescales beyond theconceivable. The way we see the world, understand the systems and processes of nature, andout intentions and interactions with the planet are central to this book. This book examines howart and science map and document new insights, and how the changes and transformations thatoccur on a geological scale can become something humans can feel, touch, and experience.The Geologic Imagination features new essays by Timothy Morton, Douglas Kahn, Paul Bogard,Michael Welland, and Raviv Ganchrow; there are interviews with Dipesh Chakrabarty, MatthewCoolidge, Liam Young, Noortje Marres, Kodwo Eshun, Kurt Hentschläger, and Mario de Vega;and visual contributions by Femke Herregraven, Mirna Belina, Ellsworth & Kruse, the Center ofLand Use Interpretation, Marijn de Jong, and BJ Nilsen & Karl Lemieux. The publicationaccompanies the Sonic Acts festival 2015. A major part of contributions is connected to the DarkEcology project that started in October 2014. The book also contains unearthed , a new

soundwork BJ Nilsen made during the Dark Ecology explorations of the border zone betweenKirkenes (Norway) and Nikel (Russia).

Edited by Martin Clark, Steinar Sekkingstad, Ane Hjort GuttuContributions by Martin Clark, Ekaterina Degot, Ane Hjort Guttu, Halvor Haugen, Pablo Lafuente,Steinar Sekkingstad, Kim West

On the occasion of Ane Hjort Guttu's 2015 Festival Artist exhibition at Bergen Kunsthall,presenting her latest film work, this substantial monograph gathers reflections on recent projectsand offers insight into the artist’s work and methodology.Guttu’s new film Time Passes (2015), commissioned by the institution, debates the contradictoryand complex issues around the uses of and rights to public space, urban poverty and inequality,and the responsibility of the artist to produce commentary. An essay by Kim West introducesGuttu’s work as portraiture filmmaking crossing the gaze of the documentarian with a decidedlysubjective point of view; Pablo Lafuente situates the work in relation to the responsibility ofeducation and critical consciousness; and Ekaterina Degot draws out questions on the egalitarian

character of contemporary art, particularly in light of the ideals highly present in the socialimagination of Norway, “the last welfare state.” The texts are accompanied by visual essays andan artist interview with Halvor Haugen. This publication presents a framed view on this artist’srecent works, and takes a position on the role of the artist and the potential of art as a critical andpolitical tool.

Walter Swennen started his artistic life as a poet, but switched to painting as his primary meansof expression in the early 1980s. Although his oeuvre varies greatly in scale, style, and materials,it can be seen as an ongoing exploration into the nature, potentialities, and limitations of painting,the fundamental question of what subject matter to choose, and how to depict it. Swennen isrecognised for his experimental and associative approach to painting, in which meaningsperpetually float and shift across images that recall a familiar place or situation – a place where

something has happened. This compact but dense catalogue is filled with numerous such works.

Universities and art schools alike have been subjected to the pressure of recent austerity politicsand the ongoing attempt to transform higher education according to the demands of reigning neo-liberals. In this context, it is urgent to conceive of alternative frameworks and methodologies ofstudy--whether within, outside or at the margins of academic institutions.This book examines the current interest in education through a series of conversations withartists, theorists, activists and educators--including Suhail Malik, Brian Holmes, Ruth

Sonderegger, Gerald Raunig, Judy Chicago, Gal Kirn, Mohammad Salemy, Melissa Gordon,Marina Vishmidt and Andrea Fraser--who are all actively involved in developing new models ofstudy. Ranging from self-organized learning to critical teaching methodologies, the alternativesgathered here offer a resource for those interested in the renewed politicization of education, newmodes of knowledge production and teaching methodologies.

Craig Murray-Orr - Thirty Small PaintingsIngleby Gallery 2015 ISBN 9780993155123 Acqn 25149Hb 28x22cm 72pp 30col ills £20

Craig Murray-Orr’s fifty-year career as a sculptor of meticulously carved wooden forms, and as apainter of intensely concentrated landscapes, has been shaped by a mix of childhood memoriesof that vast, rough landscape and by more recent travels in Asia and North Africa. His works aredeliberately austere and sensuous reductions of life filtered through memory and imagination thatultimately reflect the complexities of an emotional or mental state, rather than the specifics ofgeography. For the past three years he has worked exclusively on a series of small oil paintingson identically sized wooden boards, thirty of which will be the subject of this presentation. A newbook will be published to accompany the exhibition. The book illustrates all thirty of Murray-Orr’s

beautiful abstract landscape paintings and includes the transcript of an insightful discussionbetween Murray-Orr and Richard Ingleby.
